Default Re: OT : Australian intervention in Solomon Islands

and this is how militia Groups form. all of them, in essense, believe they are protecting there own little group. the rule of law must be upheld. everyone must receive justice.

The fact is that there were plenty of divorces, unwanted pregnancies, STDs, and unscrupulous rakes back in more austere periods of history. It simply wasn't talked about back then. I know this for a fact because it happened quite a bit in my families history and, thinking this must be some terribly uncommon trend, I eventually looked deeper into the issue.

The problems were just covered up better back then. A good percentage of Charm Schools and Boarding Schools were actually Schools for Wayward Girls (institutions for hiding pregnancy). Lack of birth control just meant that most 'loose women' were professionals, and the natural increase in prostitution adds to organized crime, it does not add to general virtue.
although i wasn't thinking of that, i am aware of said theories regarding boarding houses, although i cannot say by what i know wether said theories are correct. if they are, any such problems where probably caused by ignoring said social problems, which nearly always makes them worse. i don't like band-aid solutions.
